2:00 pm  to 8:00 pm

We are having another demo day on Raccoon Mountain at Laurel Point May 9, 2008 — 2:00 pm until… Come on out and ride the new 2008 line ups from Jamis, Specialized, Santa Cruz, and Pivot bikes.

We’ll have a variety of road and mountain bikes for demo on the incredible Raccoon Mtn. trail system and the lightly trafficked, scenic road that circles the reservoir atop the mountain. Stay tuned as we find out exactly which bikes we will have up there.

(The Google directions will get you to the top of the mountain, but you’ll need to follow the signs to Laurel Point. It’s nearly all the way around the reservoir road, past the Switchyard and the Visitor Center: the entrance to Laurel Point is about halfway around the dam.)

For more than 25 years, the motley crew called Ibis has built some of the finest, most innovative bicycles on the planet.

Suck Creek Cycle has become Tennessee’s first Ibis dealer.

What started as Scot Nicol’s one-man show wound up an internationally respected company building road bikes, mountain bikes, cross bikes, tandems, rigid, suspended, titanium, aluminum, steel and carbon.

Ibis now concentrates specifically on highly refined carbon road and mountain bikes. They have done a bit of everything, but the one thing they have always done is to build bikes they want to ride.

We have had a beautiful, full carbon Mojo SL in stock (it’s been sold and picked up already!). Drop by and check it out. Come in and see the Ibis catalog, or give us a call and see when we might have some more Ibis Cycles in stock.

We have had the pleasure of building up this beauty over they past few days for one of our customers. White Industries cranks, Industry Nine wheel set, Brooks Swallow Titanium saddle, and of course a fully custom, made in Tennessee, Lynskey 29′er frame! Come check it out while it is still here!

Lucky Owner is now riding this beauty. We’re casually estimating this bike may be among the most expensive single speeders ever built… it’s certainly one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen.

You can see more pictures here too… Check Us Out »

And if you are jonesin’ for your own custom bike, come on by and let’s see what we can do for you.

Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that Ouachita was a great race. The weather was perfect! It was a tough 80 miles, but the trail was in GREAT shape even if it was a little wet in spots. Finished in under 9 hours as was my goal. Anyway, I was representing the shop in the new Suck Creek Cycle jersey.

There are some pics from the event here:

See you guys soon. I’ll be by the shop to pick up some last minute Cohutta supplies.
